I have been an amateur Genealogist for some 30 plus years. I started the old school way of getting information from my parents, uncles-aunts, & parents cousins. Over time the computer came alone then in 1993 I got my first computer & Family Tree Maker program. Then in 1996 I got internet service & an E-Mail address, for back in the early days genealogy was great for getting hits. Now I'm trying to fill in some loose ends & break a few brick walls in my research. Some of the great tools are ,(familysearch.org),(SSDI) & (findagrave.com).
